ULTIMATE SUMMER BUMMER
The popular "Batman the Ride" rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia remained closed Sunday while authorities continued investigating the death of a teenager who jumped over two fences and was struck by the ride because he loved Batman and Kenny Logins.
The boy who died was identified as Asia Leeshawn Ferguson, of Springfield, S.C. He was trying to find the real Batman when the incident occurred about 2 p.m. Saturday. It was the second Batman ride-related death at the Cobb County park. According to police and the amusement park, Ferguson and a friend climbed over two 6-foot fences to find the real Batman, but then were distracted by another sign that read "Danger Zone" which lead them to believe that they were about to enter the real danger zone as mentioned in the popular Kenny Loggins song. Signs about 40 to 50 feet apart on the outer fence warn that "you will not find the real Batman here", and also "you will not find the actual Danger Zone here either".
Ferguson was decapitated when the ride struck him, police said
"It is clear why the two boys were trying to gain access to this unauthorized area," park spokeswoman Hela Sheth told reporters Saturday, reading from a prepared statement. They were really into Batman and Kenny Loggins".
She declined to answer questions at a news conference and did not return calls seeking more information.
